After a two year hiatus, Moon Ji Eun has made a comeback with her title track ‘Hibiye Hibiyo‘ while making headlines for her 7 kg weight loss and her $85,386USD diamond stockings.
Anyone else would’ve felt pressured to make headlines with gossip as opposed to music, but Moon Ji Eun felt rather thankful: “I thought that it helped me look not so forced. It’s just one of the ways to get out there.”
When asked what she did over the two years, she answered, “I prepared for my album. I was left with a lot of disappointment after my first album was released. I wanted to do so well, but I didn’t live up to my expectations. I think I went through at least 100 different songs, constantly recording and re-recording. I looked up and realized two years passed just like that.”
“Hibiye Hibiyo” by Bang Shihyuk is said to be a song she actually received a year ago when Baek Ji Young and 2PM Taecyeon were promoting “My Ear’s Candy“. Moon Ji Eun reflected, ”When I first heard the song, I didn’t think it’d be a hit, but the song itself called out to me. I was afraid that it’d sound too similar to ‘My Ear’s Candy’ but it has its differences. The same choreographer worked with me as well.”
During the two years, hundreds of songs have slipped through her hands. Some have already met their rightful owners and shined on the charts. “One of the songs I was offered was T-ara’s ‘I Go Crazy Because of You.’ Many people ask me whether I regret passing it up, but I feel like that song was able to do well because T-ara sang it.”
The interview soon moved onto the topic of sexy concepts. ‘Sexiness’ is a double-edged sword to many female singers, as it’s hard to avoid, but can also trap the singer once it’s pursued. “I, too, want to work past the restrictions of the sexy concept. Someday, I’d like to sing a sad ballad. I stress myself out a lot as a perfectionist because I put in so much effort into my singing, since I wasn’t born with a natural talent.”
With her recent comeback being only her second album, Moon Ji Eun herself knows that she still has a long way to go. “A singer must be able to deliver the proper emotions by working with the audience. You have to have the energy to be able to pull them to you in a limited amount of time. I think that’s what attracts me to the profession the most. I saw senior Jo Yong Pil’s concert and was especially impressed. Despite it being his 30-year anniversary concert, he said, ‘It hasn’t been that long since I began music. I still lack a lot of things.’ I want to be someone like that, someone that is able to capture the audience with one phrase, one lyric.”
If so, what does she want to hear? “I’d like people to say that I’m not bad. You have to be really ‘not bad’ in order to hear a comment like that. I’ll work that much harder to make it happen.”
